The Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship application is open for the 2025/2026 academic year.
The Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship is a state scholarship program for Wyoming students 24 years of age or older that demonstrate financial need.
Eligible students can receive up to $1,800 per semester / $3,600 per academic year for full-time attendance (12 or more credits per semester). Scholarship awards are prorated for students enrolled less than full-time at $150 per credit hour.
